Wecome to the Eurodrivers forums Drew!
Another easterner eh, me too. You'll find alot of us here in Calgary. As for your question, what do you drive and what are your plans for modding it? If we know the details we certainly help you out or push you in the right direction.

Cheers,
Dave.

You'll need to drive down a steep hill with a magnet factory at the bottom to make your 1.8 8v MK3 go fast. There are no real mods for the 1.8 8v that I am aware of. It's a mono-motronic fuel system with throttle body injection. I would recomend doing a 2.0l or a VR6 swap and either turbo charging it or supercharging it. Those swaps are the easiest to do and no real headaches.
You can find swap parts on Ebay or right here in town. I guess the sky is the limit if you have the funds to back a project.

a different cam shaft, and an exhaust might make it a litttle funner to drive.
